Who Is The Blue Jean Country Queen?

I'm 40.

Yeah, my story's halfway.

I don't remember particularly what made me decide to write a song about 40.

I wish I did, but I've had a kid and I forgot the actual light bulb moment.

I was staring it down.

This is during that in-between time of losing my record deal, maybe wanting to get pregnant.

I was 39.

I think I was being told so much, what's your story? Who are you? And I was like, I'm 40.

That is my story.

I'm this normal woman who's done all these things.

And I just started thinking about things like cellulite and not being able to sleep at night.

But I just was like, I'm going to be honest.

I'm going to write a song about 40.

No one's written a song about 40.

There's that in my next 30 years.

I started a lot of it.

And then I got together with Brett and we ironed some of it out.

And then we went and took it to Adam Wright and he helped us finish it.

I wrote it before I turned 40, recorded it.

I was pregnant, so I was 41, and it's just now I'm 42.

It came out.

The whole record's coming out.

I'll be 43.

It's just how long it takes.

It takes 40 years to get a record out.
